If I need cooling beyond what Flirc currently offers then I’m going to have to use an active cooling solution, i.e. The Flirc case is not the one case to rule them all. Even with heat sinks attached, the official enclosure has no venting the system will just cook itself inside the official case unless you remove the top like I wound up eventually doing. But I still say, considering how much heat the Raspberry Pi 4 dumps out, that you’re better off with a Flirc case than the official enclosure. I know that the official red-and-white Raspberry Pi 4 case is $5. I’m in the process of looking for a special flat cable with a header to use with the Flirc case. I’m sure if you’re using a subset of the GPIO pins and using individual wires bundled together you won’t have a problem. The problem with the GPIO flat cable connector is with a continuous flat cable.

If you want to buy one for yourself then here’s the link: The processor runs about 10☌ cooler than allowing it to run opened up. CPU temperature is not as low as I had hoped.The distance between the posts used to hold the Pi on that side match the holes, but are too thick and as a consequence too close together. Can’t use a flat cable with a standard header to plug into the the GPIO port.As far as I’m concerned the official Raspberry Pi 4 case is a waste of your money. Processor temperature in this case is a good 30☌ less than running it in the official Raspberry Pi 4 case.Insertion and removal of the SDXC card through the case is the best I’ve ever seen and experienced in a case.Extremely easy to insert the Raspberry Pi 4 and fasten case and Pi together.Conducts heat away from the processor and into the entire aluminum case. Excellent quality plastic top and bottom finishing.

Every exit hole was clean and properly centered over every port.

Solid aluminum case with excellent finishing.
